Dear readers, you are in for a wonderful time. Find a quiet place to sit, grab a cup of coffee or tea—or something stronger, if preferred—and get ready to peek into the mind of Maria Popova, architect of Brain Pickings. Thoughtfully and with candor, Maria told her story of growing up in Bulgaria, how Brain Pickings got its start, the places she’s traversed along the way, and why New York is where she truly feels at home. But that’s not all; she also gave plenty to ruminate on when it comes to work, relationships, purpose, and our pursuit of creating things that are meaningful, intelligent, and beautiful. Of course, we hope you’ll do more than just think on what she says—we hope you’ll consider and then pursue something that fulfills you.

As kids, our Saturday mornings were spent in pajamas, eating breakfast and watching cartoons. As adults, we’ve ditched the cartoons and pajamas, but we still know how to have a good ol’ time and what could be more fun than spending a Saturday morning talking with Seth Godin? We’ve read his books, followed his blog, and been inspired by his work, so we were elated when he agreed to have a conversation with us—big thanks to Tina for the intro! We’re nothing short of honored to share Seth’s story on TGD and as you read on, we hope that you will be thoroughly challenged—not just today, but for many years to come.
